Target.getTasks returns UnknownElement

[James Mao <ja...@iona.com>]

Hi,

Sorry, if you receive this twice, i sent it to the user list as well.


I'm trying to parse the build.xml myself, and tried to get the tasks 
object with the following code

      File buildFile = new File("c:/myproject/build.xml");

      Project project = new Project();
      project.init();
      project.setUserProperty( "ant.file" , buildFile.getAbsolutePath());
      project.addBuildListener(new DefaultLogger());
      ProjectHelper.configureProject(project, buildFile);

      Target target = (Target) project.getTargets().get("echome");
      Task[] tasks = target.getTasks();
      System.out.println(((Echo)tasks[0]));   <<< Failure point


The build.xml is

<project name="myproject">
<target name="echome">
    <echo message="abc"/>
</target>
</project>


How can i get an instance of Echo , instead of UnknownElement 
<ci...@iona.com>?

I'm running the above code inside a junit test

ant 1.7.0, junit4, jdk1.6


Thanks in advance!
James
